Flexible Skill Acquisition and Intuitive Robot Tasking for Mobile Manipulation in the Real World

Project description

Cognitive Systems and Robotics
New generation of autonomous mobile manipulaition robots
Many industrial processes highly depend on the reliability and robustness of robotic manipulators. Research on mobile robots has led to systems that demonstrated the capability of safe and accurate navigation. The goal of the FIRST-MM project is to integrate these two areas in the context of a real-world application scenario. The project will build upon and extend recent results in robot programming, navigation, manipulation, perception, learning by instruction, and statistical relational learning to develop advanced technology for autonomous mobile manipulation robots that can flexibly be instructed even by non-expert users to perform challenging manipulation and transportation tasks in real-world environments.
